X Ray
On chest X-ray, Goodpasture syndrome is characterized by parenchymal consolidations that are often present in both lungs, perihilar, and bibasilar. Parenchymal consolidations are not typically found in the apices and the costophrenic angles. Patients with Goodpasture's however, may not show any signs of parenchymal consolidation, in fact 18% of patients may present with no abnormal findings. When pulmonary hemorrhage is recurrent an interstitial pattern occurs. [1] [2]
